or over 45 years, Tinsman & Sciano
has served as a strong advocate for
the seriously injured, the families
of those who have suffered wrongful
death, and individuals seeking qualified
legal representation in civil and personal
injury litigation. The firm is diverse in
its practice and handles a wide range
of matters including automobile and
commercial vehicle accidents, medical
malpractice, defective products,
unsafe premises, burn injuries, oil and
gas royalty disputes, trust and estate
litigation, will contests, as well as claims
against the United States government
under the Federal Tort Claims Act.
The firm’s dedicated attorneys and staff
members are committed to obtaining
justice for their clients and work tirelessly
to provide the best possible outcome
in every case. Tinsman & Sciano often
handles matters referred by other
attorneys who need a firm with the
tenacity and experience to handle their
clients’ complex cases as well as the
economic resources to develop them.

In addition to being Board Certified by
the Texas Board of Legal Specialization
in Personal Injury Law since 1987, Daniel
Sciano has also been Board Certified by
the Texas Board of Legal Specialization
in Civil Trial Law since 1988. Sciano’s
practice covers everything from wrongful
death and catastrophic personal injury
claims involving commercial motor
vehicles, to product liability, oilfield and
industrial accidents, aviation accidents,
and serious burn injuries. He has been
listed in Woodward/White, Inc.’s The
Best Lawyers in America every year since
1995 and has won Best Lawyers’ San
Antonio “Lawyer of the Year” award in
the Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs
category twice in the last six years.
“It’s not just about the compensation
we obtain for our clients,” Sciano notes.
“So often you’re dealing with a child who
has been seriously injured because of
someone’s neglect, and you want to make
sure that the family can economically
survive what is a horrible life consequence
for that child. The other critical part of

this for them is making sure that similar
incidents don’t happen again.”
Like Sciano, firm principal Richard E.
Tinsman is Board Certified by the Texas
Board of Legal Specialization in Civil
Trial Law as well as Personal Injury Law.
He has had a distinguished legal career
lasting more than 50 years, concentrating
his practice on civil litigation in the areas
of will contests, trust disputes, and
breaches of fiduciary duty and oil and gas
royalty disputes.
Attorney Stephen Lazor has been in

premises, and motor vehicle collisions.
